UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE;
WILLIAM AQHAZELRIGG, or NAPOLEON, INDIANA.
CORN -PLANTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 251,879, dated January 3, 1882. Application filed October 1, 1881. (Model) To all whom at may concern:
Be itknown that I,W1LLIAM A. HAZELRIGG, a citizen of the United States, resident of Napo- 1eon,in the county of Ripley and State of Indiana, have invented a new and valuable Improvementin Corn-Planters; and 1 do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of section. Fig. 4 is an enlarged sectional view of one of the seed-boxes, and Fig. 5 is a crosssection of the same.
This invention has relation to corn-plan ters; and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of the hinged frame mounted on the driving-wheels, and the openers, the double dropping-cups, double hoppers, dropping-rack, lever and pinion, double rack and adjustinglevers, rock-lever, and connecting-arms, as will be hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.
Referring by letters to the accompanying drawings, A designates the front section of the hinged frame, mounted on wheels B B; and O designates the rear portion of the hinged frame, supported by the openers D and droppingtubes E.
The section A is provided with a drivers seat, F, and a double rack, G, near by, for locking a lever, H, connected by a rod, I, to a rockshaft, J, havin gbearin gs in the front cross-bar,
I, of the section A. I
The hinge between the sections A and O is formed by a shaft, H, passed through perfo rated arms H extending rearwardly from the front section, A, and entering eyes J, extending forwardly from 'the rear section, 0, of the hinged frame. From the rock-shaft J arms K extend rearwardly and connect with a verti cal arm, K, of a spring, K coiled around the shaft H and secured to the rear section, 0, of the frame, as shown.
The rear section, 0, of the hinged frame carries the double hoppers L L, the larger compartment, a, being for the fertilizer and the smaller, a, for the corn, a removable partition, 0 separating them. A shaft, M, extends from base to base of the hoppersLL, and is provided with double dropping-cups N N. The hoppers are removable by means of hooks and pins, as shown,'in order to clean the cups, and a cover, 0, isprovided for both of them.
The shaft M is provided with a central gearwheel, 0, which engages a removable rack, O, operated bya lever, P, for the purposes of dropping the sced and fertilizer at intervals, controlled by the operator, who occupies the seat P, which is also removable.
An agitator, Q, having a crank-arm, Q, extends over the corn-box, and is operated by a rod, Q connected to a pivoted or rocking lever, Q and a rod, R, connected to a wrist-pin, S, on the arm of the driving-wheel. These parts are duplicated, as shown. Ooverers S follow the openers D.
The axle T is provided with a chain-wheel, T, the shaft H is provided with two chainwheels, U U, and the shaft M is provided with a chain-wheel, V. Chains W and Y connect these chain-wheels and are operated by the driving-wheels, the dropping-lever and rack having been firstremoved to convert the planter into a drill. In the latter instance the shaft M is revolved and the corn and fertilizer drilled in and covered, while in the former instance the dropping-lever P is operated at will by an occupant of the rear seat. It will therefore be seen that the planter, may be converted into a drill by simply removing the lever and rack engaging the pinion O and adjusting the chains which operate the several shafts.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters, Patent, is-
1. In a corn-planter, the hinged frame or section A, carrying the double rack, adjustinglever, rock shaft, and connecting-rod, in com bination with the frame 0, carrying the double hoppers, the dropping-lever, sliding rack, feedshaft, and the dropping-cups, and the hinge consisting of the shaft H and the spring-arms K K substantially as specified.
2. In a corn-planter, the hinged frame A, carrying the double rack and adjusting-lever, in combination with the frame 0, carrying the double hoppers, the dropping-lever P, sliding rack O, the shaft M, having pinion O and dropping-cups N N, and the agitators Q Q,
rods Q rocking levers Q and rods It, conthe hoppers L, shaft M, double dropping-cups nected to the wheels B, substantially as speci- N N, and pinion V, and provided with the refied. movable rack, lever, and seat, whereby it is 3. In a corn-planter, the section A, provided adapted to be converted into a seed-drill, subwith the gear T upon its axle T, the hinge constantially as specified.
sisting of the shaft H, supported in bearings, In testimony that I claim the above I have as shown, and having spring-arms K K ,;1nd hereunto subscribed my name in the presence the gears U U, in combination with the secof two Witnesses.
tion 0, carrying the double hoppers, the shaft WILLIAM AUGUSTES HAZELRIGG.
M, having gearV and dropping-cups NN, and Witnesses:
the chains W and Y, substantially as specified. BEN. I. KOOP,
4. In a corn-planter, the section G, having GERHARD FREDERICK FRANK.
